Predictive ability of heel quantitative ultrasound for incident fractures: an individual-level meta-analysis
Abstract
The relationship between bone quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and fracture risk was estimated in an individual level data meta-analysis of 9 prospective studies of 46,124 individuals and 3018 incident fractures. Low QUS is associated with an increase in fracture risk, including hip fracture. The association with osteoporotic fracture decreases with time. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association between parameters of QUS and...
